Sixth Giveaway: For Instruction in Righteousness

The new books should be printed, bound, and delievered within four to six weeks, and we can hardly wait to get them. If you win today’s giveaway, you’ll have to wait along with us, because we’ll send you the first copy that comes in the door!

For Instruction in Righteousness is a topical Bible for parents, including hundreds of verses on over 50 areas of sin. But it is more than just a topical Bible…

Most chapters include all of the following:

What the Bible says will, or should, happen to a person who sins in this way.

Ideas for discipline that parallel these Biblical consequences.

Instructions the Bible gives for repenting of this sin (newly added to this edition!)

What the Bible likens a person to when he indulges in this sin, and ideas for practical object lessons using these examples.

How God blesses the person who resists temptations to this sort of sin.

Parallel ideas for “rewards” and encouragement for children who show progress towards overcoming this sin.

Stories and people in the Bible that illustrate obedience and disobedience in this area.

Fully quoted memory verses.

Appropriate for all ages!

We want our children to understand that “right” and “wrong” are absolutes, based on God’s standards, not ours. If we train our children to submit to the authority of God’s standards, those standards will not change when the children grow up and leave the authority of our homes.

We don’t want to discipline in anger; we want to show grief over the child’s sin, and we want to lead him to true repentance.

When we discipline, we want to picture for our children our heavenly Father’s holiness and His mercy. That is why we went to the Bible and started studying.

This is one of the most helpful resources on training your children to “put-off and put-on” the right responses and thinking. I’ve used it for years and have told many people who have gotten it themselves and are using it even to this day! Thank you!

Just wrote an email to a friend. I’m glad you are sponsoring this giveaway project for a few more days…I keep thinking about more people to inform as it’s before me often. Hey, that sounds a lot like how we are to be living with scripture…if it is before us all the time we are more likely to remember it, make connections between the passages and LIVE by it! Thanks for all you do….

I sent the link to our homeschool co-op group and another friend along with how we have used this as a resource to help our family use biblical guidelines to establish consequences when dealing with particular sin issues.

I put your button on my blog and I am going to email some people to share your site.
If I win this copy of the book I will be able to give one away, I have an old one already, to a family to bless them like it has blessed me.

I have probably used Instruction in Righteousness more often than any of your other materials. I would love to have another copy to give as a gift to someone else! Many friends have borrowed it over the years. Thanks so much for the wonderful, organized guide to biblically dealing with the sin in our children’s lives!

Love Doorpost and what it stands for! Looking forward to the New Edition of “For Instruction in Righteousness”. I have shared your website, blog and giveaway opportunities with my HomeSchool group of about 40 families! Keep Up the Great Work!

I shared through personal messages to many of my Facebook friends. Thank you for the opportunity to win your materials! I know that I can benefit greatly from all of your resources and truly appreciate the information in your new blog!

Shared about this on my Facebook page. This is what I shared:
“This is a great book! It breaks down different discipline issues you may have with your children and gives specific Scriptures to use in dealing with the issues! A wonderful teaching tool. A resource no parent should be without!”

Thanks for this wonderful book. It has been a great blessing and help in training my little ones (ages 5, 3, 14 months and 2 months)!!!

I have been waiting for this edition of For Instruction in Righteousness for about two months. I emailed the author and asked if I should get the current one or the updated version. He said it is definitely worth the wait. *****Get the updated version.*****
So, I’m patiently waiting. I hope I win!!

I just emailed a few of my friends to let them know about this blog and giveaway, and as soon as my husband comes home, I’m going to tell him about it. We’ve been praying that God would give us the resources we need to train our children in a godly way. I think this blog may be one of those resources we’ve been praying about! Praise the Lord!

I have been sharing with my Bible Study friends how much I love Doorposts’ charts, books, and biblical advice for months now. Today, I shared with them via e-mail how excited I am that there is now a blog! 🙂

Facebook is such a great way to let your friends & family know about such wondeful things! I just posted this on my facebook to spread the word!!! I also posted this to my MOPS group on facebook 🙂 This really looks like a great book! 🙂

Today I shared this giveaway on my blog! We use Polished Cornerstones and Plants Grow Up with our children and would love to add Instruction in Righteousness to our collection! God just recently called me to homeschool my children so this would be a great giveaway to win!

Today I shared with my oldest daughter and her husband. They will “officially” be beginning their homeschool journey with our (nearly) three year-old grandson this fall. They have been diligently working on his training and although I used many of your products while raising her, I hadn’t mentioned the launch of your blog to her before today.

I would love to get For Instructions in Righteousness! I have always struggled with what kind of discipline/training to use when my children choose wrong paths. Many times what I take away, or how I choose to discipline does not seem to get their attention or change their ways. It’s very hard to find something that really seems to work. They have just had an “I don’t care” attitude. It’s very sad, and I’m very concerned for their Spiritual lives. I pray often, and read the Word, but something like For Instructions in Righteousness would help our family, I believe. Thanks so much for all these awesome give aways!

I send your link to a friend via email; reminded another friend to REALLY look at the link I sent her and told my husband about your blessed work again.
May God bless you more and more through this fantastic ministry.

Wow! I’ve wanted this for several years, but finances hindered the purchase. God Bless you all for making this wonderful resource available and now for giving one away. I’ve shared this on my blog, on facebook, email, and word of mouth. Again God Bless!

I shared with a neighbor, who is a young mom, this morning when she asked me how I get my children to play well together and enjoy each other. I have used your wonderful items and seen such results with my children that I love to tell others. It would be really great to win this book!

I copied my friend’s post on Facebook. It’s great that you do this to get more people to look at the website. I am excited to explore it and hope to win this book that looks like such an excellent biblical resource!

I shared a link to your blog on my Facebook page. I think this book sounds like a GREAT resource. Would love some quick “go-to verses” to use in parenting. Today in my devotions, I wrote in desperation, “I feel the urgency of addressing all the issues of my household all at once. I often don’t believe I can take the time to stop, pray, and think about how to respond. I choose instead to get angry and react to what is going on around me.” I think this book would be a helpful tool in being proactive instead of reactive!

I shared with my homeschool group. Some of the “older” moms knew about Doorposts, but most of the moms fairly new to homeschooling hadn’t heard of you yet. So glad to be able to pass you on to others! I’ve wanted this book since I learned of your company (a couple years ago) and am glad the new edition will be out soon!

For Instruction in Righteousness is on my wish list! We have a few other products and really enjoy them. I emailed several other homeschool moms to let them know of the new blog. I’ve also been using Honor Your Father and Mother in my Sunday school class with kindergarteners. The “non” homeschool Moms are excited to see it help. Thanks again for such great products!

I shared with over 300 friends on facebook. My husband and I have the privilege of raising three toddlers (through foster care/adoption) after already raising 3 grown children. We are so excited to be using these materials!!
